Who Can Sign Up

This dvocacy event is open to physical scientists and engineers at any stage in their careers.

About the Physicists Coalition for Nuclear Threat Reduction

Founded in 2019, the Coalition works within the physical science community to raise awareness about the threat of nuclear weapons and what can be done about it. Our experts have held educational colloquia at over 140 institutions across the United States and held over a dozen webinars or training sessions. We also provide information and tools to enable our network of over 1100 scientists to get involved with nuclear threat reduction policies through digital and local advocacy meetings.

This project is made possible with support from the Ploughshares Fund.
